US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave?
jo7hs2 writes "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed a system which will in essence make it mandatory for you to have permission before leaving or entering the country, effectively putting everyone on a no-fly list unless the government says otherwise. Interestingly, the proposal does not seem to cover personal travel, only that on some sort of carrier like an airline or cruise vessel. While this certainly is concerning, it isn't exactly new, as a passport is already required for circumstances covered under the proposal."
"Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are two countries in recent history
that didn't allow their citizens to travel abroad without permission."

Of course they do. Good thing the Bible didn't have a commandment saying "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours oil" or something.
